I
went to the mall this afternoon for my 3 agenda – 1) get a haircut 2) grab a
biggie iced tea in Wendys and 3) hunt for the best pambahay or house shorts in
the mall. I was excited when I placed these agenda in my head while I wait for
the barber guy finish my new hair cut, I already start to day dream that I
walked out of the SM mall carrying a paper bag filled with 3 kinds of pambahay
shorts, and I even dreamed of a price…. its PHP99 only.
Back to reality,
After the hair cut session, I ate a nice chili con carne and drank a biggie iced
tea in Wendy’s, I day dreamed again that I carry now those blue, black and grey
pambahay shorts, I got excited again but I set myself not to expect more because
Its not the season of pambahay shorts, and it’s the season of those beach
shorts.

Why am I doing this?
Because I’m 38 years old, and these
pambahay shorts that I own at home are just a handful, some of them starts to
deteriorate, no longer presentable and they smell bad whenever I sweat, I need a
new set so that I'll be comfortable at home. The pambahay shorts
or normally these shorts we wear at home – as our living room shorts, sleep
shorts and our sports shorts. Its like a shorts for all season, because you can
wear it anytime and anywhere.

My first mission is to check out some
shorts in Surplus Shop in SM Bacoor.

I remember that I always buy my
pants there back in the late 90s and early 2000, I was a big fan of cheap and
over run garments that was sold in Surplus shop.

In Surplus Shop, I saw a
nice set of shorts, but mostly are beach shorts and shorts for fashionistas. I
crossed out this shop and they don’t have any sign to sell a normal pambahay
shorts.

so I went to SM Dept Store for some luck.

I’ve
seen lots of shorts, some are priced at PHP 199, and others are priced at
PHP1999.
But the thing is, they are not pambahay shorts.

I
like some of the designs, but the problem here is that they sell shorts that are
in M and L size only. There are some XL size but its too small for me and I need
a real XL shorts.

Oh..I
spotted this shirt… astig

There
are times that I have this idea to grab one “panglabas” shorts, the thing that I
dislike is that the fabric are hard and bit rough and not cotton soft

And
Its hard to wear these kind of shorts every day at home.

A
sales lady told me that they have this sale and discount promo, after I told her
my agenda, she told me to check out some shorts in Baleno.

I saw their
kind of shorts, but they are boxer shorts, They have a real XL size plain
colored shorts, its cotton soft, and its perfect!

The problem is….it’s a
boxer shorts!!

I noticed that its big for a boxer shorts, but its quite
perfect for me, but I can’t wear this whenever I go out to grab some food at a
nearby sari sari store, or wear it while I ride my bike or skateboard
hahaha.

It looks like a boxer short, because it has a button at
front.

SRP is PHP169
They have a PHP 99 boxer shorts…I might buy some
on my next visit at Baleno.

This
is a good style for shorts.
But they don’t have a real XL size for
me

I
visited some athletic store brands in SM Store, the style are good, but its too
expensive.

I
quit my pambahay shorts here in SM Store, I decided to visit Divisoria or
Baclaran for those cheapo pambahay shorts.

For sure, there are lots of
it and I don’t mind if ever I wear a pambahay shorts with Spongebob Squarepants

Outside
the mall, I spotted some pambahay shorts, I asked for the price and the seller
told me that their basketball shorts are PHP 250…. fake Adidas
kind.

there’s a generic pambahay shorts but its too expensive for a PHP
180

I crossed out the tianggee store in my list, and I decided to visit
Baclaran or Divisoria for my next mission of hunting the best pambahay
shorts.
